The thread topic regards child trafficking. We already have a thread for immigration. Town Hall is already enough of a **** show that every thread can't devolve into an everything discussion. So responding as if the issue is trafficking is appropriate.

Any amount over zero is a problem. Maybe focus there.

Everything has to be political now. It must fall on one side or the other. The wrong person is in it, therefore it's bad.

It's not the right that brought up Qanon.

No, I'm saying it allows the casual observer to think that by the association. Remember that most people aren't well informed.

Just like the illegal drug trade. That's the logic behind digital currency. You couldn't make illegal purchases without leaving evidence. Of course, you could also have your perfectly legal purchases used against you as well.

I agree. But if one gives the appearance of not caring about Cheetos, nobody gets harmed. The claims that it's all a Qanon fantasy allows people to dismiss the issue. It's not just not seeing the movie, it's attacking it that's the problem. Now if you want to talk about...

Of varying levels, yes.

Flamin hoit is true in the sense the Cheetos Flamin Hot is a real product. Montañez was not behind it. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2023/06/10/flamin-hot-cheetos-movie-fact-check-how-accurate/70302709007/

And the parents that did this to their kids will fight to the death to avoid admitting they were wrong for permanently damaging their kids.

For one thing Tim Ballard really did start the rescue group. Richard Montañez, on the other hand, didn't invent Flamin Hot Cheetos.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

You mean like KS, who has a minimum age of 15, like Hawaii?

Are you suggesting he's done nothing? There was a documentary about his group organizing a sting several years ago.

Still, he's done more than most and if the movie raises attention for a serious issue, what's the harm?

Yet it's still a problem. That alone says not enough is being done.

I'm not sure the best source for that story is a publication where the editor spoke fondly of an ABC producer who was being arrested on child **** charges.

No, but it would be nice for someone to say regardless of opinions about actors, the issue is serious. You mentioned Kutcher testifying before Congress. That was 6 years ago. What's happened since then? Has the problem gotten worse? If so, why and what can we do to stop it? Instead the focus is...
